Chapter 138 Rescue in Progress
Yike gave the gift to Li Xiangxiang, who refused several times before accepting it. When she saw the malted milk in the bag, she said happily, "Xiao Cao'er, this is really a timely relief for me. My grandson's mother just happened to have no milk, and she was worried about where to buy this thing. And you brought it to me. Thank you, auntie!"
"I have a cousin who works as a salesperson in the supply and marketing cooperative. If you need anything in the future, please let me know and I'll ask her to keep an eye out for you."
"That's great! We in the countryside only know how to dig for food in the fields. We really don't have the means to get such precious things, and we don't have tickets."
"It's okay. Ask her to help exchange the tickets for money. She works at the supply and marketing cooperative, so she has more connections than us."
"Will it be too much trouble for them? It's okay for us, but they are outsiders, so it's not good to be too much trouble. Xiaocao'er, I'm just saying, you don't have to take it to heart, I'll figure it out myself when the time comes. This can will take a long time to finish, you just came and brought so many things. I'll take the malted milk, and you can take the noodles and sugar back. If you become someone else's daughter-in-law, your mother-in-law will say that you're not good for doing this. Next time, remember not to bring so many things when you go back to your parents' house, your mother-in-law will be reluctant to give them away no matter how generous she is."
"It doesn't matter. These were prepared by my mother-in-law. She asked me to bring them back. And my cousin can really help buy the malted milk. My cousin is not an outsider, she is a relative."
"Have you found your mother?"
"Yes, but I haven't met her yet. I've met my aunt."
"Then ask your cousin to save a can for you next month. This can is enough for this month."
"Okay, I'll tell you when I have it."
"What do you want today? I will help you in any way I can." Yi Ke said that he wanted to sue Yang Huaihua for old ideas, arranged marriage, selling children, and almost killing a person. We must move our household registration out and draw a clear line and sever ties with such people who take human life lightly.
"Everyone in the village knows about your situation. She wasn't punished at the time because no one reported her. Now that you've come back to report her, she must be punished. It just so happens that a meeting was held some time ago to promote freedom of marriage and not to arrange marriages. I'll report this to the higher authorities so that they can set an example. She almost killed a person, which is very serious. See if she can be sent to a farm for labor reform. So, go and talk to the team leader, and I'll go to Yang Huaihua's house with the team leader to help you get your household registration book out and move your household registration out of the book. If you go by yourself, she will definitely not give it to you. If you want to sever the relationship, you have to find your uncle, who has great prestige."
"Thank you, Aunt Xiang! I'll go find the captain then."
"You should go quickly, otherwise he will go to the brigade headquarters."
The aunt-in-law brought a group of people and rushed to the captain's house. As soon as the captain went out, he was stopped by his aunt.
"What are you doing? You came to my house so early in the morning. You have something to tell the team leader. I happened to be going to the team leader's headquarters." The team leader was most afraid of his aunt-in-law because she often left him speechless.
"You can go later. I'm not looking for you today. Xiao Cao is the one looking for you."
"Hello, Captain! I have something to talk to you about." Yike walked up and said.
"You, you are Xiaocaoer?" the captain said in surprise.
"Yes! Uncle Captain, I'm not dead. It was my man who saved me. This is my man!" Yike pulled Ziyi and introduced him.
"Hello, Captain!" Ziyi said politely.
"Good! Young man, thank you for saving Xiaocao'er. This is a poor child. You are her man, so you must treat her well in the future."
"I will treat her well. These things are given to the captain by my family. Thank you for taking care of Xiaocaoer in the past."
"How can this be? No, I can't accept your gift. Otherwise, people will say that I am accepting bribes."
"This is not a bribe, it's a thank you!"
The captain's wife came out and spoke enthusiastically: "Xiao Cao'er, I didn't expect you to be alive and married to such a handsome guy. I'm so happy for you! Come in and sit down. What are you thinking of talking at the door? Come in and drink some of my sweet soup."
"Great! Aunt's sugar water is very sweet. I've drunk it before and I still remember the taste." Yike took the gift bag from Ziyi's hand, followed the captain's wife into the kitchen, put the gift bag in the kitchen, and then sat down in the main room.
"Dad, Xiaocao is so pitiful, you should speak nicely and don't be so loud, or you'll scare the child." The captain's wife came out of the kitchen, poured everyone a glass of sugar water, and said with a smile on her face.
The captain knew that the gift Yi Ke gave might be very good, otherwise his wife would not speak like that.
"Captain, I have something to trouble you with today. I want to transfer Xiaocao'er's household registration to my place. Please write a certificate and help get Xiaocao'er's household registration book from her mother. Captain, you know that Xiaocao'er definitely can't get it by herself." Ziyi said straight to the point.
"It's only right to transfer your household registration after getting married. That Xiaocao'er's mother really doesn't understand reason. Then I'll go with you. You sit for a while, I'll go get my briefcase, and then we'll go to the commune together to complete the procedures for transferring your household registration after getting the household registration book."
The captain entered the room, and his wife followed him in and quietly told him about the gift Yi Ke had sent.
"You have to help us. We have to be worthy of Xiaocao'er for giving us such an expensive gift. Besides, Yang Huaihua is not a good person. She is always making trouble. She will definitely not give us the household registration booklet so easily. You have to help us think of a solution."
"What do you know? It's legal for someone to transfer their household registration after getting married. Why would she hold it back? Don't worry, even if Xiaocao doesn't give me a gift, I will help her."
The team leader took the bag and took Yi Ke and several others to Yang Huaihua's house. The women's director Li Xiangxiang saw them passing by at the door and immediately followed them. She told the team leader about Yi Ke's plan to sue Yang Huaihua.
The team leader frowned and said, "Just move the household registration, why are you still suing? If something like this happens, our team won't be able to be rated as an advanced unit."
"Xiao Cao'er said that if her mother didn't confiscate her household registration booklet, she wouldn't have to sue. But even if we don't report it to the higher authorities, our village will have to punish her severely. The higher authorities require that we promote the idea of not having arranged marriages. She sold her children just like in the old society, and almost killed someone. It's even more serious than arranged marriages. Our brigade can't just ignore it. If other members follow suit, it will be serious. We can't afford the consequences."
"Well! Let's see Yang Huaihua's attitude first!"
It was the time when the members had finished breakfast and were getting ready to go to work. When everyone saw so many people walking towards Yang Huaihua's house, they all went over to watch the fun.
"Captain, is it that Yang Huaihua's son is causing trouble again?" a member asked.
"No, it was Xiaocao who came back to transfer his household registration."
"What? Xiaocao'er? Isn't Xiaocao dead?"
"Yes! Oh my god! Look at that, isn't it Xiaocao'er?"
"Hello uncles and aunts! I am Xiaocao'er, I am not dead, it is my man who saved me. This is my man." Yike pulled Ziyi in front of everyone.
"Hello, uncles and aunts!" Ziyi also cooperated and greeted everyone.
"Oh, it's really grass!"
"That boy is really strong!"
"The grass is growing nicely too!"
"That's because her husband took good care of her. She used to live under her mother's care and didn't even have food to eat, so of course she didn't grow up well."
"It's obvious that her man is rich. Look at how muscular he is."
"I'm afraid it won't be that easy for Yang Huaihua to get the household registration book out?"
"That's for sure, but Xiao Cao has called the captain over, so that bitch Yang Huaihua has to take it, or else the captain will make her suffer."
Everyone was talking about it. When the villagers heard that Xiaocaoer had come back alive and brought a man with her, they all ran to watch the fun.
Yang Huaihua and her family had also finished breakfast. As soon as they opened the door, they saw so many people rushing to her house. They thought that everyone knew that she had locked up Guihua, so they were shocked and instinctively wanted to close the door.
"Yang Huaihua, why are you closing the door? I have something to talk to you about, open the door." The captain shouted while standing at the door.
"What's the matter? Nothing happens in our family!" Yang Huaihua shouted while standing in the yard.
"Your little Cao'er is back, why don't you open the door?" a member shouted.
"You're kidding! That damn girl died a long time ago."
"Yang Huaihua, Xiaocao is really not dead. He is just outside the door. He has brought you a son-in-law." Women's director Li Xiangxiang said outside.
"Open the door! Xiaocao'er is not dead, he's back." The captain roared impatiently.
Yang Huaihua suddenly opened the door, stared outside, and saw Xiaocaoer at once.
Now Xiaocao'er has not only grown taller, but her skin has also become whiter, and her facial features are more brighter and more delicate. She has become a beautiful girl.
Yang Huaihua couldn't believe her eyes. This money-losing item looked so beautiful. It would be even more valuable if it were sold.
Thinking of this, Yang Huaihua immediately put on a smile and said, "Oh, I thought you were dead. It's great that you're not dead. Mom was so worried. I'm glad you're back. Come in, come in."
Yike pulled Ziyi in, and the team leader and the women's director followed them in. The two Aunt Tangs, Tang Jianguo, and Ma Youcai also went in. The small courtyard was suddenly packed with people.
Seeing that there was no place to stand, those who were watching the fun climbed up the wall and looked out.
"Mom, who is it? Why are there so many people?" Han Jiabao came out of the main room and was shocked to see so many people in the yard.
"Little Grass is back."
"What? Xiaocao'er is back? Oh my god? Xiaocao'er, don't come to me. It's not me who wants to sell you to a fool, it's your mother." Han Jiabao screamed in fear and betrayed his mother without hesitation.
"What nonsense are you talking about? That money-losing bastard is not dead. Look, that money-losing bastard looks much better than before." Yang Huaihua slapped Han Jiabao on the back.
"Not dead? Really?" Han Jiabao stretched his head to look at Yike, and sure enough, he saw a pretty girl standing there. "Oh, mother, she is really not dead! She is still so beautiful. Mother, let's not sell her anymore. Keep her for me to marry."
Han Jiabao is obsessed with sex and when he sees Yi Ke, he forgets that he already has a partner. This is a rhythm that will lead to his own death even faster.
